My student was shot and killed last night.
He was a beautiful soul, who worked his hardest to help him Mom with the bills. He loved sports, and would have played if he hadn't almost lost a finger playing football. His intelligence was was obvious

He was legitimately funny. Some kids do slapstick or yell stuff, but this guy had timing and delivery. He was a natural leader
Here'a story, I'll call him Darien:
Here'a story, I'll call him Darien:
I'm at CHOP visiting a student, Mark, who was shot the week before. I see Darien in the lobby, looking pissed off. They won't let either of us up to see Mark...except a group of teachers snuck in through the parking lot (cars 
)
)
So Darien and I set off on a quest to find the parking lot. We probably walk for 20 minutes. At one point he tries to walk down the driveway past a security guard, simply willing himself through. I tell an attendant I'm lost, and he says something about a "Glass elevator" 
Darien walked way faster than I did, and when he chilled out up he started bidding on my short legs.
I tried to teach him The Walk, where you strut and nod as if to say "Of course I belong here!".
And then we see a Glass Elevator

As we're riding up, Darien says "Yo, we really made it!"
And I'm like stop! "We made it!" always triggers the part of the movie where the bad guy steps on to the elevator.
"Oh, good lookin out". And we ride in silence

We have to walk down 2 hallways. Darien leads. And he **nails** The Walk. Even nods at an orderly.
We make it Mark's room, Darien calls out"Yo Saltz and I were on some Oceans 11 shit".

5 minutes later a very diplomatc nurse explains that you can't have 14 people in the room, and we need to wrap it up. But Darien can stay
His Memory will be a Blessing
